The Apostle Paul said in 2 Corinthians 10:3-5, “It is true that we live in the world, but we do not fight from worldly motives. The weapons we use in our fight are not the world's weapons but God's powerful weapons, which we use to destroy strongholds. We destroy false arguments; we pull down every proud obstacle that is raised against the knowledge of God; we take every thought captive and make it obey Christ.” (GNT)
In this video series, John Paul Jackson and Patty Mapes explain how important it is to break negative strongholds, so that we may come into agreement with God’s purpose and destiny for our lives. Strongholds keep people from their destiny. Some of the common types of mental strongholds are offense, failure, judgement, human reasoning, and opinions that do not agree with what God says about an issue. The battlefield is in our minds. We need to overcome strongholds by taking every thought captive to obey Christ, and by seeking first the Kingdom of God- focused on His plan for our lives and not our selfish desires. We should not allow our thoughts to separate us from God.
